Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dentistry

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

Dental emergencies include severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, or signs of infection such as swelling, abscesses, or fever. These issues should not be ignored and require prompt attention to prevent further complications.

Can I walk in for an emergency dental appointment?

While walk-ins may occasionally be accommodated, it’s best to call ahead and schedule an emergency appointment. This ensures we can assess your situation and prioritize your care as quickly as possible.

Is emergency dentistry covered by insurance?

Coverage for emergency dental care varies depending on your insurance plan. Some plans cover the full cost, while others may only cover part of the procedure. Our staff can help you navigate your insurance policy, clarify your benefits, and work with you to maximize your coverage.

What if I lose a filling or crown after hours?

If you lose a filling or crown outside of regular office hours, avoid chewing on the affected side to prevent further damage. Though we may not offer after-hours care, call us the next weekday morning, and we’ll prioritize setting up an appointment to replace the filling or crown.

Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?

Yes, but time is critical. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved if you see a dentist within the first hour of the injury. Rinse the tooth gently with water (do not scrub), place it in a glass of milk or saliva to keep it moist, and bring it with you to the appointment.

How do I manage dental pain before my appointment?

To alleviate dental pain while waiting for your appointment, take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen and apply a cold compress to the affected area. Avoid eating hard or sticky foods that could aggravate the issue further.

What should I do if I have a broken tooth?

If you have a broken tooth, rinse your mouth gently with warm water to clean the area and save any broken pieces if possible. Apply gauze to stop any bleeding and a cold compress to reduce swelling. Call us immediately, and we’ll work to treat your injury as soon as possible.

Do I need an appointment for severe oral swelling?

Yes, severe oral swelling could indicate a serious infection or abscess that may require urgent care. Call us right away to schedule a same-day appointment so we can address the issue and prevent it from worsening. Delaying treatment for swelling can lead to spreading infections and other complications.
